Yes, I agree. Bluebeam is great. I had it at the last place I worked and I really liked it. I'm using this old version of Acrobat because it was free and it has always worked for what I need it to do, but if I want to get into the 3D pdf game then I will need to upgrade for sure.

The 3D embedded inside of a PDF viewer is so convenient though.

The paid version is 100% the best and, by a large margin, the most powerful PDF authoring/editing program available.

I think the free version (Bluebeam Vu) can handle 3D PDF files. May want to give it a shot.

Thanks Rod. Indeed. I await the new Blender update with it's new rendering solution as well. Might just have to FINALLY try to come to grips with it's UI. But like you said, even at full price this is a drop-dead simple rendering solution. I'll have to bring in an AutoCAD model and try to texture and render it.
